A stand to be used when cleaning a muzzle loading rifle or a muzzle loading shotgun. It consists of a large, stable base with an upright member attached to it, and with a barrel receiving mechanism attached to the top of said upright member. The stand will then securely support the gun barrel in a vertical or near vertical position which greatly facilitates the cleaning operation. The stand is also designed to be easily collapsible to a significantly more compact form for storage.
